One feature of our recent Review Metrics release is the ability to keep closer tabs on your review at the Reviewer level. One (optional) tool in your set is the ability to track time for the purposes of calculating documents per hour reviewed.

A Reviewer may clock themselves in/out with the click of a button on their landing page.

If time was logged incorrectly, spent outside the system, or just plain forgotten: edits and full entries may be modified via the calendar interface (accessed via the “view” link in the screenshot above).

Advanced users may manage their own time entries or do the same for other users:

The focus of Time Keeping is the documents-per-hour metric and does not aim to be a fully featured time management system. In that name, the system is flexible and does not provide locking, security, and audits that might appear in a true time-tracking tool. However, reports detailing the work done in a given day or month, by any given Reviewer, are available to advanced users — providing direct timestamps at which documents were reviewed.

We hope you’ll find this change and the wider release that it is part of helpful in gaining visibility into the status of your review.

We’re excited to bring a significant refresh to the Discovery Cloud experience. The updates add clarity to your review at the Reviewer and Subreview levels and provide visibility into where progress is being made or where it may be lacking. The ability to more clearly differentiate between documents that are not yet reviewed for privilege and those that have been positively identified as “not privileged” facilitates privilege review in a way that was previously inconvenient.

Subreview Metrics

Available to Advanced-level users, a tab under “Admin” brings you status and counts at the Subreview level.

Subreview level statistics illustrate progress and may provide insight on what area of your review is producing the highest quantity of relevant/privileged/etc documents. Many graphs may be clicked to gain an extra level of detail.

Reviewer Metrics

Available to Advanced-level users, a tab under “Admin” brings you status and counts at the Reviewer level.

Statistics for each Reviewer provide visibility on what sort of work is being accomplished. If you elect to utilize the (new) Timekeeper functionality, a time metric is also available to give an indicator of review speed. As with Subreview Metrics, many graphs may be clicked to gain an extra level of detail.

Reporting

Available via Settings -> Metrics Reports, users may opt-in to status emails. A report will be generated and transmitted weekly, providing the recipient with the overall +/- subreview status of the review. These emails do not need to be tied to a Nextpoint account, freeing you up to transmit them to addresses of those not necessarily involved in the day-to-day review.

Independent Privilege and Relevancy Review

Previously known as “Review Status”, “Relevancy Status” is concentrated on the relevant/not portion of a review. On the Privilege side, this enables differentiation between a document that is “not reviewed for privilege” and a document that has been reviewed for privilege and certified to truly be “not privileged”.

Existing documents with a “Not Privileged” status have been marked as “Not Reviewed” for privilege. If you would prefer that those documents instead be “Not Privileged” – a simple bulk edit is all that is necessary to make that modification en masse.

So, when do I get it?

The update will be available to some users beginning Tuesday 3/19, with the remainder receiving the updates Thursday, 3/21. As with all updates, no action is necessary on your end.

Import status (“Batch” documents upload) in DiscoveryCloud and TrialCloud has been updated to streamline reporting and enhance issue detection and handling.

The “batch list” page has a simplified look, allowing 2x the previous quantity to be conveniently displayed at a time, along with quick visual cues to make statuses obvious at a glance. The status-bar provides a visual diagnostic of processing results for each batch. Click on a section of the bar to view the corresponding portion of the processing logs.

Marking a batch as “Resolved” will update it’s status and gray out the status bar to make it a little less eye catching.

Remembering that “Batch 9” is the zip of files you found on Terry’s PC is a bit of a pain. Providing a name for the batch gives you a handy moniker to be used throughout the interface.

Batch Status Reporting

Available when your batch has completed: Download a full report of actions or the specific actions you are interested in (i.e. only the documents/issues that recommend follow-up action to be taken).

The link for “Normal” actions only is pictured above – To download only the “Warnings” for example, a similar link may be found on the “Warnings” tab.

The download is a csv listing the actions taken and (where available) links to the related document in the interface, providing you with a convenient starting point for resolving any issues encountered.

We’re excited about what these changes immediately bring to the table for Batch-status reporting and error resolution, as well as the future enhancements these underlying changes will enable in the future.

Along with numerous back-end architectural enhancements, last night we introduced a set of keyboard shortcuts to improve Reviewer efficiency when moving through a large set of documents. A cheat-sheet is available via a link in the upper-right corner of the screen while reviewing documents.

Shortcuts have been made available for the most common coding operations, as well as page & document navigation options.

“Alt + Ctrl”? Why the game of keyboard-Twister? The catch here is that your browser is also “listening” for the keys you’re pressing and reacting to certain special combinations. Some browsers like to react more to “Control”, others “Command”, and others “Alt”. This combination of keys gets us into our own space while using keys that are (on many/most keyboards) located near enough to each other to make the combination practical… with a little practice.

These new options allow you to quickly update a document’s status and move on to the next in the stack.

Good news everyone! We’re happy to announce the addition of Tumblr feed archival functionality at Cloudpreservation.com. Cloud Preservation users now have the ability to automatically archive Tumblr blogs.

Cloud Preservation archives all of Tumblr’s different post types while maintaining each blog’s customization.

Sample Tumblr Post from life.tumblr.com

Not only are Tumblr posts stored as they appear to website viewers, but Cloud Preservation also stores multimedia file resources used within posts. Photos from photo posts, videos from video posts and audio from audio posts are all automatically archived. Just as video files from sources like YouTube and Vimeo are viewable within the Cloud Preservation viewer, audio files shared on Tumblr can also be played without leaving Cloudpreservation.com

Cloud Preservation offers two different Tumblr feed archival options: Public and Authenticated. When using the Authenticated option, users archive all posts from every blog they access to as well as a list of followers from each blog. Authenticated feeds also archive basic user profile information. With the public feed option, users can archive all the posts from any public Tumblr blog.

Today Cloudpreservation.com is happy to announce archival functionality for the social photography site Flickr.com. Flickr account holders are now able to automatically backup their Flickr photos and videos with Cloudpreservation.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's Flickr Profile

Cloudpreservation offers two different options for archiving accounts: authenticated and public feeds. Authenticated feeds archive all of a user’s photos, vidoes, profile information, contacts, comments, favorites and photosets. When archiving a public feed, Cloudpreservation has access to only the profile information, contacts, favorites, photos and videos that is publicly available. All of the public user’s photosets will be archived, but private photos within the photosets will not. Public Flickr feeds do not include a user’s comments.

When archiving Flickr photos, Cloudpreservation stores the highest resolution version of the file available as well as the metadata associated with it. Exif data, tags, timestamp and licensing information are all archived and are easily searchable.

Example Flickr Photo with Data

Cloudpreservation also stores social data from the Flickr website like comments and favorites. This allows the documentation of social interaction with the added context of an image or video.

Example Archived Flickr Comments

Currently, over 5 billion photos are stored at Flickr. It’s used by many companies and government agencies to store and promote their digital media. We’re glad to be able to provide Flickr users with a way to archive their accounts and fulfill legal and compliance obligations.
